Bionic Health, a startup from North Carolina, has raised $3 million in seed funding from investors to deliver personalized care to patients. The initial aim is to build out preventative health services rather than primary care for people who, for example, are experiencing chronic pain or a virus.
The funding round is led by serial entrepreneurs Robbie Allen, a machine learning expert, and Jared Pelo, who is a doctor. The investment comes from Durham’s IDEA Fund Partners, the Triangle Tweener Fund, and several others.
The company is hoping to use artificial intelligence to automate much of its workflow and communications. It also won’t do any primary care work, and will only focus on preventative care.
